GoKawiileMudhra to exit global SSL/TLS certificate business
eMudhra Limited's Board has decided to voluntarily withdraw from the global SSL/TLS certificate business, the company announced. Chairman V. Srinivasan said the segment contributes about 1% of global revenue and cited rising data sovereignty and compliance costs, reduced returns, and competition from free certificates. The company said it will continue to serve existing customers via its G1 RSA roots during the transition.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The decision follows a recent security incident involving eMudhra's certificate authorities, which the chairman says was contained quickly without data breach, but which drew disproportionate social media scrutiny relative to the unit's small revenue share. This suggests eMudhra may be prioritizing reputational risk management and refocusing resources on higher-margin enterprise trust services rather than a low-margin, increasingly commoditized SSL/TLS market.
- eMudhra is voluntarily exiting the global SSL/TLS certificate business.
- The business represented only about 1% of eMudhra's global revenue.
- Existing SSL/TLS customers will continue to be served via G1 RSA roots during the transition.
